"Once upon a time, in a land far, far away..."
Magical words.
Words of fantasy and mystique that conjure places and beings as fantastic and wild as your imagination.
Looking at the world through a child's eyes is like watching a little slice of heaven.
A tiny squiggle is magically transformed into a Masterpiece. A mismatched pair of socks becomes a personality statement. A gap-toothed smiling picture is an adorable keepsake.
The imagination of our children is pure and absolute. A big block of Legos is a birthday cake. An empty cardboard box is an adventure-filled pirate ship. (These can be inspiration for new decorating ideas for their rooms too.)
The living room suddenly transforms into green meadows with gentle breezes as your daughter lays out her picnic basket.
Our attempts to decorate kids bedrooms are simply a gesture to capture these magical moments.
Children need to feel heard; that their opinions matter!
The first 20 years are the period of physical growth and mental development. This is the time during which innocent infants turn to adorable toddlers turn to curious tweens turn to turbulent teens turn to discerning adults. The journey from infancy to adulthood is greatly impacted by the environment around them.
Giving our children the luxury of being listened to; of knowing that we care about their opinions and that they are unconditionally loved...is our responsibility as parents. Even children need a private zone that is theirs alone. They need areas where they can focus on and explore all the different hobbies and interests.
It could be that my children were very young and I wanted to give them a magical space of their own. I remember them crawling off their beds - giant crocodiles slithering back into the water (the floor) to come and get a bite of me. I remember maneuvering through a minefield of Legos scattered as they created dragons, castles and birthday cakes. I remember spending hours creating a large wall art with Washi tape - my favorite decorating ideas to date.
But just as importantly, I realized what did or did not work for me as a mom. The importance of creating a safe home; of having adequate toy storage; of an organized closet space; of zones within the room for all their different activities and figuring out the best layout to maximize functionality of the room.
If you are struggling with these design dilemmas, know that you are not alone; and know that it doesn't have to be that way. This is why I have made finding the best decorating ideas to design baby nurseries and kids rooms, my mission.
